How to Upload and Post Multiple Images with Social Report

Social media managers rejoice! You can upload and post multiple images at once to certain social networks using Social Report. Check out our complete rundown this feature below.

Uploading Multiple Images

Social Report users can now upload multiple images in one of two ways:

Directly from Computer (through upload button or drag and drop)

By Connecting an External Drive (OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive)

To begin uploading multiple images, go to Publishing and click on Media Gallery. Once in the Media Gallery, you can choose how you'd like to upload multiple images in the top right area of the window.

Uploading Directly from Computer

To upload multiple images directly from your computer, click the Upload button and then choose "Image (No Editor)". This will then prompt your Finder Window to open up and you'll be able to move through folders and files, selecting multiple images as you please. Once you've selected your images, simple press open and they will be added to your media gallery.

Alternatively, Social Report users can simply select multiple images from their computer or desktop and simply drag and drop into the media library.

Connecting an External Drive

To upload multiple images from an external drive, simple choose one of the three options within the media library (OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive) and follow the prompts to connect your drives. Once your drive is connected, you'll be able to select multiple images and use them when in the post composer.

Posting Multiple Images

The social networks that currently allow multiple image posting are:

Facebook (up to 5 images)
